Nickname for Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Also the name of their newly renamed minor league baseball team because of the dash in between Winston and Salem and apparently it represents speed. Pretty lame place.
College Student: "Where are you going for break?"
Other College Student: "Headed back to the dash."
(1) Dash was raised in Ethiopian projects on Fillmore St; despite being white, he more closely identifies with black culture, therefor exemplary of The Dash Effect.
(2) The Dash Effect is pronounced in Creedence Clearwater Survival’s ‘Bayou Country’ album wherein a bunch of San Franciscan boys perfectly emulate bayou blues.
